Re: confessions of a butcher Yah, that's his real name, too!

Cowboy (available at ACE Hardware and Lowe's) is ok. Some say sparky, some say lot of ash. And sometimes pieces of wood that look familiar (like molding or 2x4). Some have said they found plywood, but I've not. One does NOT burn plywood, of course. BGE stores sell their own brand, which is made by Royal Oak. Expensive for Royal Oak. Wal*Mart also has Royal Oak, and less expensive. Wegman's brand (a grocery store in the Northeast) has its store brand, which is, yes, Royal Oak. Kingsford lump is also available, but (from what I've read) has gotten uniformly bad reviews. Sparks a LOT! Farther south, there's a lot of mesquite available. Probably in AZ where you are there's quite a bit. Some like it, some say it sparks, some say it's too strong a flavor. Speriment, see what you like.

Jeez, guys, you know NUTHIN about foreplay! Always gotta rush to the main event. :sigh:

ooh aaah!

Good luck. Sorry about the storms, but I hope you and your family are safe. Meat products, not so much, I guess, what with power outage. Good you have a KK, so you can cook without electricity (between twisters, of course). Yup, a lukewarm beer and a sleep, for sure. Rest well :*

Bad enough tryin to avoid a burn from hot muffler. How to avoid a singed calf from hot cooker/passenger?

A truly HOT rod! New meaning to "take out."

Oh, Porkchop, you CANNIBAL!!

What kind of rolling papers do you use? I've tried smoking salmon, but the papers get all messed up when I tried to roll it.

Re: pepper mills?

I forget what country is on my boxes from last year, but the box doesn't have the "Kamado" logo on it. I can check in the light tomorrow. ::Later:: I looked. Doesn't say "Kamado" on the box. Says "Tropical Charcoal." Made in Thailand. So, I must have what Cozy has. Delivered summer 2006. ::::

Yah, I know how that can be. I'm up against bores every day at work. Usually not wild, but the domestic bores can be just as bad. Just wanna gnaw yer own arm off so you can make some excuse like "I have to go to the hospital now, so we'll have to continue this later, k?" I can just imagine how bad the wild ones must be. If that's what Doggy is up against, odds aren't good!

Yah, Bambi wasn't such a pushover after all. She and da Boyz musta roughed him up some...

Haven't heard from Lead Doggy lately, but he's the King of KK Venison. Search "venison" in the forum, and you'll find it. He has done standing roasts, ribs, steaks, and so forth, and posted pictures. Or search on posts by LeadDog.

Excellent. Gold star!

My question was what was he testing! Couldn't figger out what he was doin. Now I understand, he's comparing the lump from one to another. Makes sense. Just give me chocolate.

Re: Head scratchin Well, yah, I guess you're right. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons...

Head scratchin I'm still trying to figure out what the goal of the test is. Testing lump? Testing heat retention in the cooker? Just playin at setting things on fire? Waving red flags at bull, to see who pokes at you?

I thought it was Mrs. Curly's tractor. You change your mind? Well, if you think I can get away with it, it is...otherwise it ain't On advice of counsel, decline to give her the tractor, unless you also give her a sparkly bauble. A BIG sparkly bauble.
